And All Is Right With The World Again

For the first time since 1996, they've lit up the Grain Belt Beer sign by the Hennepin Avenue Bridge in Minneapolis. The brewery that now owns the Grain Belt brand bought the landmark sign and got it named to the National Register of Historical Places. If you're familiar with downtown Minneapolis, you know the sign. And it's like the Citgo sign in Boston and the Domino Sugar sign in Fells Point, Baltimore; yeah, they're ads, but you can't picture the cities without 'em. (St. Paul Pioneer Press)
